Compaq laptops to be specific…
I was wondering everyones opinions on these, any stories? I’ve always heard their desktops blew balls however, I’ve heard both good and bad about their laptops. I’ve found a compaq that fits the specs I want for a laptop but again it’s a compaq. Any advice. Thanks.

P.S. I’ve already looked at Dell’s.

IBM laptops are the best. T40 series.
I have a hewlett packard, and the battery doesn’t seem to hold charge. That, and its slow. So I would not reccomend a hewllet packard.
Dell and IBM are good. IBM is probably the best. They did make the first personal computers after all.
Don’t buy a peice of foreign trash. My aunt has a sony, and it is terrible, and my grandma has a toshiba, and its worse.
Thanks.
Don’t forget that HP merged with Compaq, so any Compaq laptops are now HP . . .
I wouldn’t say that the HP laptops are bad. If someone has an issue with a bad battery, perhaps it’s time to replace the battery . . . ? And if it’s slow, then maybe it’s loaded down with junk or it’s old? Reinstalling Windows is always a good idea when things get terribly slow.
Personally, all of the HP laptops I’ve had for the past 2-3 years have been pretty darn good. The one I’m typing on right now kicks ass. It’s a Compaq nc6220. Lasts forever if I don’t use wireless and it’s plenty fast for me.
I should say that while I am empoyed by HP, I am in no way biased towards their products, except for printers. HP printers rock.
I’m sure that Alienware makes good laptops. VoodooPC, just bought by HP, also makes laptops.

Lenovo makes them now. From what I’ve heard, the new Lenovo laptops are of good quality, but only time will tell.
I just bought a Compaq notebook a couple weeks ago. They seem to have a bad reputation, but so far I think mine is great. I paid less than $500 bucks and got a free HP printer.
If you want a fancy expensive laptop then get an IBM, but it’s hard to beat the value of a Compaq.
True story:
Last week, I went to the public firing range to give the ol’ glock a workout, and about 25 yards out there was some funny trash looking thing laying on the ground. When I went out to put some targets up, I walked over to see what it was.
Somebody had gone OfficeSpace psycho on their compaq laptop computer, but instead of using a baseball bat, there were about a hundred or so 9mm holes in what was left of the poor thing.
Evidently, someone had been less than satisfied with the quality of their computer.
I was a repair tech about a year ago and I would personally stay away from them at that point in time. As to their quality now im unsure.
See Ya
